The Abyss |
|
Definition:
Anything too deep for measurement; profound depth, bottomless gulf; chasm;
a deep fissure in the earth where many signature collector's treasures end
up after depositing them in the mailbox! This phenomenon has been
extensively researched by scientists who, for decades, have been working
endlessly on the After
one year of waiting, I figure that the odds of getting these cards back,
signed, is pretty abysmal! So, I have created a place to pay homage
to my long lost cards, a graveyard if you will, to remember my cards of
yore. I will, however, keep in mind that Robinson Crusoe eventually
returned after being lost for
28 years (10,199 days, give
or take a few days for leap years). Because no official memorial honors will be
rendered for these lost cards, I ask that you please remove your hat before
viewing this page!
News Flash! The Navy (cough, cough) has come through. Now, a specially designed suit for us collectors to seek out our lost bounty and treasure in the ABYSS! Tested at depths in excess of 3000 feet!
